Ever heard of Plutocats, Blastopians, or Crypto Valleys Adventurers?
I hadn't before this week. Yet these three Blast collections have done +3,050 ETH worth of trading volume over the last day, almost double the 1,700 ETH that Bored Apes, Mutant Apes, and Azukis facilitated on Ethereum in the same span!
The surge comes as traders are flocking to farm airdrop points via Blur's new deployment on Blast. Of course, points and airdrop buzz can only last so long, so whether this momentum sticks remains to be seen, but with more rewards seasons to come, Blast is angling to make this NFT dominance here to stay.

Earlier this week, I wrote about Redstone, a new L2 focused on fully onchain gaming.
Take note, then, because today and tomorrow Biomes—which plays like an onchain version of Minecraft—is hosting some limited-time competitions, like Deathmatches and Race to the Sky, plus kicking off some unlimited experiences like Bounty Hunter and Build-A-Nomics.
If you're still on the outside of Redstone looking in, a great bridge to begin with is Reservoir's Relay service, which lets you transfer to or from the L2 in seconds. Also, note that you'll need to create a Biomes avatar to dive in!
When you're done trying Biomes, track the Redstone Community page for other ongoing Redstone events and festivities!
